Hooray! Ne chapter! I had fun writing this one too! It has another OC in it that I received from someone on another fanfiction site. Can I just say how surprised I am by how many people have viewed, faved, reviewed, or followed this story? I mean, wow!

Anyways, I don't own Avengers or anything mentioned/referenced.

Read on!


Adrian's Clearing-Central Park, New York City

Finally stumbling tiredly into the clearing, Adrian looked down at a just waking Bilbo. "Why am I not surprised you managed to sleep through all that and stay asleep for over half a day while I tried to find this clearing again?"

"Well, I was originally a cat after all, so it shouldn't be a surprise," Bilbo responded, stretching before morphing into a man.

"Huh. You know, we should probably come up with a better name for some of your other forms when you take them. I think we'd get funny looks if Bilbo was your name when you're human. How about… Mark Russo?"

"Really?"

"What?" Adrian asked.

"I know where you came up with that."

"Your point being? I happen to like the name."

"It's just that… I'm curious why you decided to name me off of your favorite Youtuber and the family in WOWP."

"Bilbo, either say the full name or nothing else. WOWP sounds utterly ridiculous."

"Psh! Fine. Wizards of Waverly Place. Happy?"

"Yes."

Bilbo glared at Adrian before rolling his eyes, "Anyways, what'd I miss?" He looked over Adrian in his disheveled state, "I missed some excitement didn't I?"

"If you consider accidentally teleporting to a forest that has Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America fighting before invisibly hitching a ride on their quinjet to the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier and then driving the same quinjet back here to New York: all followed by spending several hours searching for this clearing and experimenting with old and new powers exciting, then I guess."

"Huh. Did you discover anything while experimenting with your 'powers'? I believe you said 'new.'"

"Well… Ok. Yes, I discovered something that I hadn't noticed before."

"And?"

"I can feel things."

This caused Bilbo to giggle in surprise, "Feel things?"

"That does sound strange, but I meant that I can feel everything: the particles in the air, all the molecules of water, elements, the molecules making up people, (bizarrely) the pulses making up people's thoughts, and so much more. It's like someone attached my nervous system to everything that exists. I even found that I could manipulate stuff, accidentally."

"And how does one 'accidentally' find that they can manipulate matter?"

"I may or may not have caused a bank window to melt when I walked by. I was frustrated that I had to find this clearing still. Afterwards, on my way back here, I worked on controlling it. With help from the memories of some soul pieces, I have gotten it down to where I can control or manipulate things in condensed form easily and draw particles of stuff in the air together with some difficulty."

"I'm confused. What do you mean?" Bilbo asked, tilting his head.

"Here, I'll do it while I explain," Adrian said before he gestured at the ground and a clump of earth shot into his hand, "This, is several millions of molecules condensed into what is commonly called dirt by us. I can easily control it and make it move or change shape," Adrian said and Bilbo watched as the clump of dirt floated and flew in a circle before forming a dolphin followed by an owl.

"As well as controlling it, there is the fact that I can shift or remove molecules to fully change its molecular structure into things such as glass, sand, or paper," the dirt turned into glass then sand, and then into paper, before turning back to dirt. "Now, I also said I can draw particles or molecules from the air. These are dispersed and I can form them into any condensed form such as water, earth, or radioactive material. I also found that I can cancel out and manipulate waves, like sound, light, or even electrical ones in the brain that create thought." Bilbo watched surprised as a ball of water appeared out of nowhere before turning into dirt than a glowing substance. He became more surprised when the sounds of birds chirping disappeared and then the clearing went pitch black. His mind felt sluggish as well.

"Can I just ask something?" Bilbo said.

Adrian stopped and dissipated the gathered molecules and particles, before returning light and sound. He then sent the dirt back to where it came from, "Yeah. Sure"

"How are you already so good with it? You only discovered it today."

"Ah. I see where there could be confusion. Okay, so you know I have all the soul pieces' memories and all that right?" Adrian paused until he saw Bilbo nod, "There's your answer. I have access to several memories of how to control and use my powers, but it's like I'm rusty with them at the moment. Plus, I practiced for over 10 hours as I searched for this place. The memories make things more simple, but strangely, I only recall them after I find out I have the powers."

Bilbo nodded again, "Makes sense."

"Oh, guess what I got!" Adrian said excitedly, changing the subject. Before Bilbo could say anything, Adrian pulled something out of his pocket, "An iPhone. It's supposedly the leading phone in the country at the moment… I got one from some place that had a special 1 year anniversary prize giveaway if someone could guess the number of phones in a giant box within 5 phones. 365, there was 365 phones in that box. I didn't even know. I just guessed it because I was thinking about days in a year. Anyways, the prize was a choice of any of their top products, so I just asked for a phone since I'm guessing we'll need one at some point."

"For what?"

Adrian smiled, "Let's just say it'll be a good attention grabber."

"Do I want to know? Know what? Don't answer that."

"Ok."

Adrian put away the phone before he turned and assessed the clearing. He muttered something to himself before turning to Bilbo and saying, "You know. I could use a little more practice with all of my newly discovered 'powers'. Do you think I should give this clearing some 'homey' comforts? I may need some assistance with the arrangement of the things I try to create."

"Oooh! Can you make a soft cat bed for me to sleep in? I don't care what you decide to make otherwise," Bilbo said with excitement and he began to purr at the thought of a soft warm bed.

"Sure. I can try," Adrian said before he turned and focused. First the places to sleep: Adrian reached out with his mind for condensed and dispersed molecules to form wood, fabrics, stuffing, and fastenings. He closed his eyes as he pictured the wood weaving and fastening together, then the fabrics stitching together and filling with stuffing, and finishing with the pieces coming together to form a finished product. He opened his eyes to see two cat beds.

Next, Adrian decided there should be some places to comfortably sit and/or eat. He pulled together the needed molecules and again focused on the materials coming together. He opened his eyes to see some cushioned chairs arranged in a semicircle and a table with chairs around it. With a bit more focus and time, Adrian formed a fire-pit and had some wild-vegetable soup going. The vegetables came from a patch of wild vegetables Adrian found nearby that he had used his abilities on to advance their growth.

Bilbo assessed the arrangement, impressed, before he asked puzzled, "Why two cat beds?"

Adrian gave a fond eye-roll, "You aren't the only one that can have a cat form."

"Really? What does yours look mainly like?"

"You want me to show you?" Adrian asked, not wanting to describe it in words.

"Sure."

Adrian moved to a more clear area before he pictured what he wanted to turn into. Quickly, a fiery orange, male cat took his place and meowed before actually speaking, "What do you think?"

"I think you should stay away from any females looking for a strong tom to mate with. You're cat form is desirable in the gene pool of cats. I like the orange though, makes me think of the cat soul piece of mine I met. He told me he was friends with what he called 'firestar,' or something like that. Here, I'll morph to look like him to show you what I'm talking about." Bilbo stood and, like Adrian, a grey cat soon took his place.

As soon as Adrian saw him, memories came rushing to his mind. Helping a black cat escape a... tiger? Something like that. Fighting to rid a 'clan' of an evil cat plotting to kill some blue star. Taking up leadership and seeing the stars... So much new input on a past he had in one universe. Adrian spoke a few moments after the memories faded away, "I remember him from one of my pasts! Interesting… Wait. What time is it?"

"I think it's far past midnight. Wasn't it becoming morning when you left the helicarrier?"

"Yeah. Like I said: I spent most of the day practicing my abilities while looking for this clearing and then there's the time I just used up to make all our stuff and show you the 'newly discovered' powers. Anyways, we should probably go to sleep."

Bilbo nodded, before giving a yawn that showed off his sharp teeth. Together they headed to the separate beds and curled up to sleep. Adrian soon found a flaw in their plan. He was wide awake and felt not even a sliver of tiredness. That's when he realized, "I haven't slept since I got to this universe! It's been a day and a half, and yet I'm not even close to tired. I still feel like I got a good night's sleep… Maybe It's an effect of my change? Eh. I'll find something to do until I'm tired I guess."

Adrian got out of the cat bed and morphed back to his original human form. He sat down and started to meditate. He stretched his awareness out to feel the plants and molecules around him. It was calming in ways. It suddenly occurred to Adrian that he would need to find ways to makes money until he could find some steady job. Still thinking, Adrian started doing something he had picked up habitually after visiting a friend who was renting a room to an artisan: blowing glass. Only difference was that Adrian made the glass form from dispersed molecules and was heating it while he molded it with his hands. The heat didn't burn his hands since he was controlling it, so he easily molded the melted glass in his hand into an abstract statue that looked like a flame forming from a spiral. Adding a glass base, Adrian cooled it with a thought and looked at it.

The statue was better than any glass figure Adrian had done when he first started glassblowing in 10th grade. Heck, people might actually pay for it. That's when the lightbulb came on in Adrian's head. He could make glass blown figures and other things to sell until he got a better job. Adrian went through the whole night making glass figures, creating some jewelry, weaving some baskets, and making some other knick knacks

The next morning, after Bilbo had woken up to Adrian packing up several things that he couldn't quite see, Adrian headed with 'Mark' to a place in New York where he could sell his hand-crafted items. It was surprisingly near to Stark Tower and Adrian had several people stop and look at the items he was selling. It was nearing noon when he found himself running low on things to sell. He packed up his remaining wares speaking with 'Mark', both were surprised at how fast people had bought his items when several of the people around him hadn't sold hardly anything. Heck, he even had some very business-like people stop to get a glass figure or some jewelry. One redhead woman with her hair in a tight bun had stood out to him though when she showed early in the morning, but he couldn't remember why she seemed familiar. All she had asked for was a pair of earrings and a figurine she said she'd give to her 'boss' as a present for her leaving.

He was going through the money he had gotten with Mark, when a woman walked up to him from where she was packing up her wares. She hadn't sold a single thing and was thinking of finding a different spot when she had spotted Adrian packing up with only a few things leftover from the haul she had seen him bring in with a brunette early that morning. Interested in him since she had never seen him in the area before, she walked up and distracted the two of them from counting their profit by saying, "Nice to see someone is making a profit. Several people were starting to think this area was cursed with bad sales."

Adrian looked up, "Oh really? And why is that? All these people's wares seem so much better than mine."

Assessing him for any cocky sarcasm, the woman was glad to see none and smiled, "I wouldn't say that. You have some beautiful items. Heck, I even bought some earrings from your 'inventory' to match my scarf." She brushed a lock of lavender hair over her ear and showed Adrian and his friend the earrings she got. Indeed they were a light green matching her light green scarf with lace details.

"Oh. You must have bought them when I went to grab breakfast for us. Otherwise, I would've recalled someone as interesting as you," Adrian said thoughtfully. He looked over the woman whose name he had yet to find out and noted the scar running down her right eye and interrupting a patch of freckles.

"Well, one as interesting as me would be sure to catch one's eyes. It is unfortunate I didn't get the honor of introducing myself to you before," she said with a dramatic sigh, causing Adrian to chuckle.

"Yes, unfortunate indeed. I haven't quite met many of the fantastic people in this city. Most of the people I've met seem happy with an angry mumble about how annoying people should stay out of a decent person's business. I'm Adrian Leeson and this is my best friend Mark Russo. May I ask as to who you are? Miss-"

The woman giggled, causing her caramel brown eyes with blue and green flakes to shine with laughter, before she responded, "Spirits. Odette Spirits. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all ours Miss Spirits," Mark said. Adrian looked to the side at him and noticed that his eyes were fixated with curiosity on Odette.

Adrian looked back to Odette when she said, "Please. Miss Spirits makes me think my old teacher is calling for my attention. Call me Odette."

"Alright. Can I ask why you came over here?" Adrian responded.

"Oh. Right. Well, I have never seen you around before, so I was going to inquire as to where you sold your stuff before."

"We haven't. Sold any stuff before, that is. This is our first time."

"Interesting. You did very well. Better than my fai-lure today," Adrian found his curiosity piqued when she stumbled over what she was saying and shivered slightly at the words.

"Do you want to try selling them over here next time? This seems to be a spot where a lot of people stop and I'm sure plenty of people would love your clothing and boots. Specifically, the female population. Heh. Maybe sometime we could mix wares so I sell some of your stuff with mine and you sell some of mine with your stuff," Adrian said, sensing what seemed to be her worry at not succeeding.

"You think so? I think I might take you up on that offer," Odette winked at them, "I guess my style of spring colored dresses with brown ankle boots could be combined with a lot of your beautiful glass jewelry…" She seemed to contemplate the idea before nodding, causing her bob cut hair to shake before settling.

Adrian was about to ask her why she dyed her hair, when he was stopped by an explosion coming from above the Stark Tower. His eyes widened in realization. Quickly he spoke, "Odette, listen to me very carefully," he waited for a receptive nod before continuing, "We need to head underground and try to make our way off the island until it's safe. Don't question what I tell you. If you find me afterwards, I will tell you why. Okay? Go! I'll be right behind you."

Odette looked at Adrian puzzled before she made the decision to heed what he told her to do and grabbed her stuff before going down the nearest subway entrance. She boarded a train and was almost halfway to the mainland when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She looked down at the message she got from her friend 'Aliens are attacking New York City! Are you okay?!' Now what made Adrian send her away mere moments before an alien invasion would start in New York? She'd definitely need to talk to him… Wait. He didn't come with her!

Several minutes earlier near Stark Tower

"Do you think she'll be alright?" 'Mark' asked, concerned.

"She should be. I think a train left a few minutes after she went down that entrance so she should be almost halfway to the mainland when the portal opens and the Chitauri attack. First though, we should figure out what we're going to do. I plan to help fight and protect the people who may become injured or die if I don't do anything." Adrian looked up and saw a red and gold blur following a darker blur before the red and gold covered the dark and came to a short stop before shooting back up to the top of Stark Tower. After a few seconds Adrian said, "Prepare for portal in three… two… one…"

A loud boom rang out as soon as a blue light shot up to the sky and opened up a portal to somewhere in space. Adrian started herding people as he saw the Chitauri come racing in.

Somewhere in space a few minutes before portal opening

Junn nervously shifted with a strange weapon in her hands and her baby, Arashi hidden in a bag on her left hip. She didn't like these things they were on. They were some sort of flying transport that had a Chitauri foot-soldier driving and two other foot-soldiers on the back to shoot anything. Unfortunately, Junn was one of the back ones. 'I don't even know how to fire these things, but I better figure it out fast so I can escape as soon as we get to this "Earth,"' ran through her mind as she investigated the foreign weapon in her hands. She just had to wait for her chance.

She wasn't waiting for long before the Chitauri got excited and activated their vehicles and weapons. Junn looked around, and worried for the planet these things were invading as she spotted several leviathans. She would just have to do her best to help. She copied the Chitauri next to her in turning on her weapon and realized she just had to pull the trigger to shoot the purple beams that had killed her fellow Mutata.

She flinched slightly when a crack boomed from the spot all of the Chitauri were facing and a sprawling city was revealed through what she assumed was a portal. That's when she realized: she was on the front-lines.

The Chitauri vehicles sped forward and she was stunned when she got her first view of this foreign world. It was beautiful. There may be metal structures, but it had such beautiful life to it. She knew this would be the place where her baby would be so happy. The planet had so much potential, she realized, and became determined to prevent what happened to her species to happen to the dominant species here.

She looked at the other two Chitauri soldiers, before subtly taking off what was keeping her attached to the craft. With a quick aim and two shots she took out the Chitauri she was with. As the craft went flying down, she jumped off at the last moment and rolled while cradling her baby to keep him safe. She was lucky, since she saw all the other crafts get blown up by something in gold and red. More came rushing through the portal and she prepared to fight. She looked about quickly and realized she had crashed right into a group of some humans, but when she stood up they warily looked at her before rushing down into tunnels of some sort. Only two of them stayed behind and looked at her with a fierceness that surprised her.

Now what was she supposed to do?


Yaas! It's another one finished! Please fave, follow or review in whatever ways you people feel so long as it's not stupid hate comments since those are a waste of time (if you didn't like it in the first place. Why would you read this far?) Anyways, I'm still accepting OCs and you can send in your name for a character you can define. Please make sure they're flexible so I can put them in different stories and don't have to deal with a story cluttered with OCs. Also, please tell me what you guys all think of Bilbo's human name? I am a fan of Markiplier...

Thanks for reading and rock on my fellow gals and guys!
